    Vermont Flea Market Find; 1862 M53 Enfield

    Found this last weekend while vacationing in VT. Excellent condition including bore and rifling. Missing the rear sight and front swivel, but cost $300 less than a reproduction. A reproduction rear sight and swivel arrived today. I stripped the blue on the sight by using vinegar. An original bayonet is on the way. Stock looks like it was made by Isaac Howlings and Son.

    Still have to get the sight attached, then off to the range.

    The bore pic got bunny-bombed.
